Слухи про Дракон ХСМ

via DannyNatfka,I spoke with you a few months back regarding seeing the SM flyer in the GW warehouse in -------------. Not sure if I mentioned it or not, but in the area that we were not allowed to go in there was a larger sprue that I could not recognize. It was on a land raider sized frame and the parts were organic and mechanical looking. Non of them were in GW packaging yet either. Based off of what I have been reading, these may have been the "dragon" sprues.

IT IS SAID THAT IN THE TIME OF MAKING. THE ALMICHTY CAST THE SPHERE OF FENRIS INTO THE SEA OF STARS. RECKONINC IT TO BE NO PLACE FIT FOR LIFE. BUT THAT FENRIS FELT THE COLD OF THE DARK AND RAN BACK TO THE WARMTH OF THE SUN. CALLED THE EYE OF THE WOLF. THE HEAT OF THE EYE PROVED TOO CREAT. AND FENRIS FLED INTO THE OUTER DARK AGAIN. SO IT IS EACH GREAT YEAR THAT FENRIS RACES TOWARDS THE SUN IN SUMMER AND FLEES AGAIN. PLUNCINC ALL INTO THE COLD EMBRACE OF WINTER."
